Key Players: Alex Zidane is highly influentul in a "False 9" role, While Stacey Papaleo has racked up 63 goals this season.

Richard Keyes: I'm looking forward to this game it should be a cracker as were the 2 games between these sides that seen a 1-1 draw at July Fourth before ΠΑΟΚ winning 1-0 in the second game. July Fourth need to stop the attacking threat of Fredy Cala and Hernan Meulens should he feature, but they have R.McNamara, Holvoet and Importantly Novotny, Like-Wise July Fourth have 6 attacking players in their team that can score goals and that will keep the ΠΑΟΚ defence very busy, I view the ΠΑΟΚ defence as their weakside and I feel Papaleo will be a major problem for greek side.

Match Odds: July Fourth 11/8, Draw 9/4, ΠΑΟΚ 15/8
To Lift The Trophy: July Fourth 8/11, ΠΑΟΚ 11/10

First Goalscorer:
Stacey Papaleo (July Fourth) 7/2
Fredy Cala (ΠΑΟΚ) 9/2
Alex Zidane (July Fourth) 6/1
Hernan Meulens (ΠΑΟΚ) 7/1
